I find it much more fascinating than discussing races three weeks before they are run.

So is that strictly from memory or did you chronicle all of the shows you attended?

2 exceptions all year, and this is one of them. No?

Go Gem Go..

No offense, but forgive me for not getting on board with the guy who thinks Curlin was better than Sunday Silence, Cigar, John Henry, and Alysheba among others.

I pity anyone who challenges Stevie to Dart Guns at Dawn. He's a quick draw!

You should have told Johnny Avello, probably be sitting on a 3000-1 ticket right now.

Gemologist was bet down around 40-1 or so at Wynn after his win in the Kentucky Jockey Cup late November for the DERBY, but they don't offer odds for specific triple crown horses. Most places will just offer a flat bet like the one below.

Will there be a triple crown winner?
YES +750
NO - 900

If you ask, they (Wynn) will give odds on pretty much anything assuming the bet amount is where they want it.

I can't copy and paste the odds properly without some tedious editing but the link above has odds of winning the TC for each horse.

No bargains that I see.

What number did they open with in the summer of '85 at Merriwether Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD?

That's easy. They played two nights there:

Mississippi Half-Step, and Dancin' in the Streets.

Everyone knows that.

Casey Jones.

I was there. Equipment problems led to them finally playing it. One of two times I heard it in over 300 shows.

I just saw Justin Dew's post....I must have mixed it up with 1984. Oh well.
